Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for checking out my blog and taking a look at the items I have to offer.

The holidays are approaching soon and my handmade crafts can be a perfect addition to the gifts you give.

Almost everything can be customized to suit your wants and needs, and prices can be negotiated.

Why am I doing this?

First of all, I love to craft and make things that make people happy.

I also love the idea of kids having handmade toys.

The biggest reason though, Josh and I want to have another baby.

I think everyone knows that the process of IVF is very, very expensive. In order to have a chance at getting pregnant again, we need to raise about $6,000. I figured if I love crafting, I may as well give selling my goods a try and everything I make will go towards the process of giving John a little brother or sister.

These crayons are recycled from old bits of crayons that still have life left in them.

$6.00 for a dozen crayons in a variety of colors

The cars measure approximately 3 inches long
